Topic: Eberron Campaign Recruiting
Subject: It's hasty but it will do.
Nel d’Deneith: The very name is a contradiction, seeing as Nel roughly translates to ‘Not’ or ‘No’ in many tongues. Perhaps though, the name fits the Blademark and Defender well considering the young Deneithian had to fight for many years even to be recognized as a member of her lineage, her birthright.
Nel d’Deneith you see, is the bastard daughter of a rather impious d’Deneithian noble, (feel free to insert a name DM it may hold some importance down the road) and a tavern wench whose pretty face and aspirations to leave the lower wards of Sharn made her easy pray for the likes of a man with more money than morals. Needless to say, some nine month’s later Nelisara was born into the world. Marissa, Nel’s mother tried in vain to contact the father of her child, but to no avail, as the powerful noble denied any and all claims of the worthless whore, and made light of the infants name telling her she was ‘No’ d’Deneith. Heartbroken and unable to support a newborn, Marissa eventually gave Nel up to an orphanage eager to give new life to those who would otherwise be left without. Unbeknownst to Marissa, the orphanage was a front to a local crime syndicate, (possibly give me a name here?) who raised the children to become the future generations of their guild’s ranks.
Nel grew up showing impressive skills at the thievery trade, growing each cycle more and more into an established rogue, not to mention a beautiful young woman. Nel learned to work her natural gifts into her work, and soon became a subtle master of manipulation as well as other forms of deception. Nel particularly found an interest –no—a pleasure in the study of poisons along the way. She compared the ability to inflict extensive pain or crippling conditions upon one’s victims similar to the lingering feelings of emptiness and abandonment having never known her true parents…
That would all change.
Having been tasked with collecting debts owed from a local tavern, Nel walked the shadows up to the building and strolled through the front door; just another passer-by down on their luck as far as anyone was concerned. Entering the establishment, Nel was happy that the place was empty save for a portly man behind the bar and a single woman in about her mid-thirties wiping down tables.
Nel strolled up to the man behind the bar and in a seductive but deathly serious tone told him:“Seems you’ve not had any incidents lately, and it’s that time again to ensure it stays that way.”
Porter, the barkeep knew instantly why she was here, but the lack of incidents hadn’t been from the guild’s ‘protection’ but rather a drop in business.
“I..I can’t pay this month, we’ve barely covered our stock, the people haven’t been coming in as often lately, seems “
Nel meant business, that’s why the guild had sent her. In a smooth motion he drew a fine dagger from a sheath at her side and plunged it into the bar-top between Porter’s pointer finger and thumb.
“That’s too bad, I can see business isn’t going to improve anytime soon either..”
“M..miss I’ve barely enough to support me wife an kids, surely you understand.”
Nel merely scoffed and laughed. “Can’t say that I can, my own whore of a mother tossed me aside, and my father, who knows which bumbling fool that could be.“
At that remark, the tavern wench, aged but still beautiful for her age approached, and almost stuttered the word “Nelisara?” Spinning faster than one would imagine, Nel brought her dagger up to the woman’s throat, her stare cold. “Who are you that you know my name?” The woman barely able to contain herself, let herself practically fall around Nel, crushing her in a hug mindless of the thin blade which drew a thin line across her cheek as it glanced her. “Nel, thank the god’s you’ve been returned to me. I’m your mother.”
~~~~Fast Forward~~~
Marissa had told Nel everything that had transpired and while Nel couldn’ty let her disappointment in her mother subside so easily, she could understand why what had happened had happened. Knowing her father was of the high Dragonmarked however only drove her to meet with him in person, to let him lay eyes upon his child, to lay eyes on what he had abandoned some 17 years ago.
~~~~Fast Forward~~~ (insert noblesname)’s bedchamber
She had stalked and crept, waited and hidden, and here she lay within his chamber, while he prepared for bed, oblivious that she stood only feet from him, hidden in a shroud of shadows cast from the night sky and abundance of elegant draperies. As the noble stepped forward, she met him in the middle of his bedchamber, and pushed him atop his bed.
“Look at me father, look at the woman you left and hoped would die as a child.”
The man could only look on in shock.
“Look at me, Nelisara d’Deneith. You can deny me no more”
“Impossible.. you, you can’t be here!”
“If I’m not here, then I cannot do this.” Nel stepped forward and smacked her Father hard across the face, her delicate hands leaving a red impression upon the man’s terrified visage.
“I now know who I am, and so shall the world, you can deny me no longer. I am reborn, and I am d’Deneith!” As she proclaimed her bloodline to the world, her forearm began to burn and swell, as the least mark of the sentinel appeared upon her flesh.
Nel grimaced then smiled. The god’s had accepted her.
Her father passed out.
~~~~Fast Forward~~~~
Nelisara the very next day approached house d’Denieth with proof of her birthright, and her hopes of joining their ranks, a mixture of learning more about her lineage as to piss her old man of f. She didn’t however completely cut ties with the guild that had fostered her. She owed them much, and over the years she rose in notoriety amongst the Blademarks and Defenders while keeping open the lines of communication with her ‘family’ of the past. Nel had found the good life, merging the respect of house d’Deneith with the black market resources of the guild. In exchange for a overlook here, or a transport their while on ‘official’ business, Nel had managed to walk the line and profit from it.
Then the war came
~~~~Fast Forward~~~
House d’Deneith had dispatched many Defenders to the war, and along the way many parties were lost, broken and forged anew. Along the way Nel had met a handful of other mercenaries, and since their ‘larger goal’ was the same, had remained, and befriended them. Another family she had found, one forged in battle and one she cared deeply for. For the remainder of the War they had fought together, forming their own special group, and for two years afterwards they traveled still. Now they find themselves returning to familiar places (wherever the game starts at) and Nel wonders what the future has in store.

Topic: Eberron Campaign Recruiting
Subject: Poisons:
I've got the Poisonmakers guide in hardcover, as well as pretty much anything you can find in a sourcebook compiled (I've a thing for poison i dunno why) So anything you're unfamiliar with I'll try to put both the effects/ cost and reference it came from when I make attempts to craft it during the adventure / campaign to come.

Subject: Nel, is
Nel is human Ayrn, beautiful, seductive, charismatic and politically informed her strengths lie more in manipulation than straight out fighting.
I was looking into the Feat Noble Birth: but it looks like Favoured in House might work too.

Topic: Eberron Campaign Recruiting
Subject: hmm..
I need a noble house in Sharn now that I see how Nel's being made. She's a very social character, alot of Charisma based skills, contacts, information mongering lol, and since she's related to nobility (perhaps a dragonmarked house since this is Eberron) she uses that to her advantage.

Subject: more on poisons...
Will you allow me to utilize a bell curve rolling on crafting my poisons? I presume we've had down time and Nel's had time to work on her stuff..
Oh.. on Crafting, I noticed Eberron introduces a Craft Point System to help keep the game moving.. Personally I'm loving it.. if we're using that then that's even better.. let me know..
I've been toying with nel for a couple hours now, she'll definately be ready by tomorrow I'd say.

Subject: sniffles..
Not high enough level to properly appoint her interest in poisons yet...
Skari, do you assosciate poisons under craft alchemy or a seperate crafting skill (bob did it as one skill not sure how you would)
Do you require a feat to craft poisons? (Again I've had some DM's that say so and other's that don't.)
Yes I understand the Poison Use Feat is required to avoid self poisoning.
(sniffles.. Must get this game started so i can level twice lol.)

Topic: Eberron Campaign Recruiting
Subject: yesyes,, you must understand Skari..
Many are anxious for a return to Eberron... Failure to provide such escape could be hazardous to one's health, as having an Irate grugg stalking you with an Atlantic salmon for a weapon could indeed hinder future relations on your end.
(Hey [insert Skari's real name here] I'd love to go out with you, but that creepy dude in the panda suit holding the fish is really creeping me out so uh... I'm gonna go bleach my dog.. bye!)

Subject: Oh.. Trait's / flaws etc
Nel's character was made with these in mind, to add depth and rp factor... they were allowed nin the last Eberron game she was in and I'm interested to know if I can keep them in her revamp.
Everyone's got fears or quirks, as a player and a DM I think they give everyone more to work with, but the call remains yours.

Draven as Draven is.. and Nel's charismatic nuances and emotional attachment to alchemy ala poisons should prove for an interesting companionship via mercenary comraderie lol.

Definately interested in this one.
As such, I resign my interest to that other one shadowed by the marvel that is Eberron hehe..
I've definately got a character that would fit the role perfectly, but like Draven, Nel was very detailed and very customized using an array of sourcebooks. but as for interest
ME-ME-ME!!

Topic: **Noldaria*Final War**
Subject: Stand and deliver!
Scourge rounded the corner and stopped when he observed a large insect looking humanoid, noting the antennae and mandibles, it reminded him of sketches he had seen in his former master's grimoires of anatomy. Perhaps it was an Umber Hulk, though he'd never seen one outside of a page and his memory of the image was vague. He tried to recall his knowledge of such creatures but drew a blank on the subject. He took a step forward but was halted by none other than Elandor, who beckoned him stay put. It seemed as though he were conversing with the large creature, who at seeing Scourge wasn't exactly happy that more strangers had entered its domain.
Scourge stood his back to the wall, leaning as he twirled his Dawnbringer much in the same way the creature twirled his own, while Orion, who had already been flying overhead, continued on, to perch upon the wall above the two, lending an ear on any conversation as a fly on the wall might.

Topic: The Chakran Portal - an Adventure in Audalis
Subject: Victory!
Thondrek felt the blood running smoothly down the wounds in his face, using the pain to fuel the swing of his mighty axe, cursing as he missed the incredibly agile beast. His companions reacted in tune, and he smiled as Geim placed a firm hand upon his back, Kharox's gift mending many of his wounds.
The gift wouldn't be enough however, as once more he took the brunt of the badger's attack, this time the bloody lil bugger took a piece of the khord with him. Growling in anger Thondrek stepped forward his blood freely flowing and spurning him on. He swung his axe and was satisfied as it sank deep into the creature with a flaying crunch.
Alyssa too had stepped forward this time to heal him, and her goddess had answered with a powerful blessing. With the addition of Draven, Geim, and Malius' return to the fight, they made short work of the badger.
Breathing heavily, Thondrek could only place a hand upon Geim's shoulder with a look of thanks. And a smile and nod tossed to Alyssa. With his eyes falling upon Draven but speaking to noone in particular he added "and this is why our wall stands firm; each knows their part, and supports one another, for surely no single stone of would have felled this beast."

I suppose it's a difference in opinion, but I found it to be better than any of the others, save perhaps the Goblet of Fire. The special effects were amazing and since I hadn't read the books previously I didn't have any prior expectations I guess.. oh well..
